I too am over 60, 63 to be exact. I too walked up the last bit of Ditchling Beacon in 2022 as I had rotten cramp in both legs. I was gutted to have walked but realise at my age and my weight (102kg at 5'10") it wasn't a bad effort after all. During the winter I have trained harder than I ever and have lost 4kg and definitely increased my overall fitness. (I am actually finding that I like the challenge of a hill). On zwift I find myself now in group C, which is a surpirse and according to their data my zftp is supposed to be 287 (I actually have no idea what that means if I'm honest). All I will say is that the more you do the better you get, no matter what the age. When the rain eventaully stops I hope to be back out there in the Purbecks working again with a view to this year getting to Dichlings peak still in the saddle.... Good luck and 'ride on'
